We investigate the instability index of the spectral problem $$ -c^2y + b^2y + V(x)y = -mathrm{i} z y $$ on the line $mathbb{R}$, where $Vin L^1_{rm loc}(mathbb{R})$ is real valued and $b,c>0$ are constants. This problem arises in the study of stability of solitons for certain nonlinear equations (e.g., the short pulse equation and the generalized Bullough-Dodd equation). We show how to apply the standard approach in the situation under consideration and as a result we provide a formula for the instability index in terms of certain spectral characteristics of the 1-D Schrodinger operator $H_V=-c^2frac{d^2}{dx^2}+b^2 +V(x)$.

We study the trace class perturbations of the whole-line, discrete Laplacian and obtain a new bound for the perturbation determinant of the corresponding non-self-adjoint Jacobi operator. Based on this bound, we refine the Lieb--Thirring inequality due to Hansmann--Katriel. The spectral enclosure for such operators is also discussed.
We prove that the spectrum of a certain PT-symmetric periodic problem is purely real. Our results extend to a larger class of potentials those recently found by Brian Davies [math.SP/0702122] and John Weir [arXiv:0711.1371].
We prove that the eigenvalues of a certain highly non-self-adjoint operator that arises in fluid mechanics correspond, up to scaling by a positive constant, to those of a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent; hence there are infinitely many real eigenvalues which accumulate only at $pm infty$. We use this result to determine the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and to compute some of the eigenvalues numerically. We compare these to earlier calculations by other authors.
In the first (and abstract) part of this survey we prove the unitary equivalence of the inverse of the Krein--von Neumann extension (on the orthogonal complement of its kernel) of a densely defined, closed, strictly positive operator, $Sgeq varepsilon I_{mathcal{H}}$ for some $varepsilon >0$ in a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ to an abstract buckling problem operator. This establishes the Krein extension as a natural object in elasticity theory (in analogy to the Friedrichs extension, which found natural applications in quantum mechanics, elasticity, etc.). In the second, and principal part of this survey, we study spectral properties for $H_{K,Omega}$, the Krein--von Neumann extension of the perturbed Laplacian $-Delta+V$ (in short, the perturbed Krein Laplacian) defined on $C^infty_0(Omega)$, where $V$ is measurable, bounded and nonnegative, in a bounded open set $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^n$ belonging to a class of nonsmooth domains which contains all convex domains, along with all domains of class $C^{1,r}$, $r>1/2$.
In this paper we study a family of operators dependent on a small parameter $epsilon > 0$, which arise in a problem in fluid mechanics. We show that the spectra of these operators converge to N as $epsilon to 0$, even though, for fixed $epsilon > 0$, the eigenvalue asymptotics are quadratic.
